considering Tommy's tales, there probably is a motive. I think his story has some truth in there somewhere, because otherwise, what would be the point in telling it? Whatever happened, & because of Tommy's own words, I think I, anyway, can rule out an accident. Something really violent happened that night...maybe not premeditated, (but I'm not ruling that out), but avoidable, nonetheless, so IMO, it was murder. I think there's a time frame, when even the most enraged person, sees reason, thinks about consequences, & can simply walk away from the situation. But this time, that person didn't walk away. & I think it was for a pure selfish reason. He didn't want to get in trouble. & if Tommy's tales are true, what was he thinking during his little time frame? Why didn't he try to save a child? Was he thinking, 'better Haleigh than me'? & 'I'll just lie my way out of it'? So, anyway I look at this, I see a purely selfish man, who put his own wants over the life of a child. & then he lied, & lied, & lied. His life went on, business as usual. I remember a news clip, where Tommy & Lindsey were being interviewed about Misty pointing her finger at him. They were so cocky, & he even called Misty crazy. geesh...he sure was confident he wouldn't be found out. IMO, Misty was just guessing, & he knew she had nothing on him. But a year later, he's implicating himself.my, my, my.
